Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100134248 | SIMPLIFIED BIOMETRIC CHARACTER SEQUENCE ENTRY - A device having a biometric input device is configured to allow a user to enter a character sequence for use in validation using the biometric input device. A predetermined assignment of characters to enrolled biometric templates allows a user to determine a sequence of biometric inputs to provide to enter an appropriate character sequence. | 06-03-2010 |
20110196884 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING AN UPDATE TO CONTACT INFORMATION - A method of providing an update to contact information of a user of a portable electronic device includes, determining that the contact information has changed, retrieving contact data of contact data records stored at the portable electronic device, and generating and sending updates from the portable electronic device based on the contact data of the contact data records. | 08-11-2011 |
20110198397 | SECURE USE OF EXTERNALLY STORED DATA - A smart card reader is adapted to extract and store authentication data from a response APDU received from a smart card before generating a filtered response APDU, wherein the filtered response APDU does not include the authentication data. Beneficially, when the smart card reader transmits the filtered response APDU toward a destination, the biometric template data is less susceptible to interception, thereby providing a more secure solution. | 08-18-2011 |
20110302342 | SMART CARD SET PROTOCOL OPTIMIZATION - A method of facilitating communications between a computer device and a smart card reader having an associated smart card, the computer device including a smart card resource manager and a smart card reader service, the smart card reader service acting as a relay for commands between the smart card resource manager and the smart card reader, the method comprising: receiving from the smart card resource manager a first command for setting a protocol for communications with the smart card; and responding, prior to receiving a reply from the smart card to the first command, to the smart card resource manager with a message indicating that the smart card has successfully received the first command. | 12-08-2011 |
20120042166 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY DISTRIBUTING UPDATED KEY MATERIAL - A method for handling an encrypted message received on an electronic device that has not been encrypted using a current public key. The portable electronic device automatically generates a reply message to the sender in response to determining that the message has not been encrypted with the current public key. The reply message may contain the current public key of the recipient device, and may request the sender to resend the message encrypted with the current public key. | 02-16-2012 |
20120137121 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STORING SECURED SENT MESSAGE DATA - Methods and devices for storing sent message data are described. The sent message data corresponds to a message sent to a destination by a communication device via a server. The method includes compiling a first portion of the message which has a plurality of components; applying security encoding to the first portion; and storing the first portion. The first portion includes at least one but not all of the plurality of components in the message, and pointers to the components not included in the first portion. | 05-31-2012 |
20120282880 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNLOCKING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and apparatus for unlocking a mobile communication device are provided, the mobile communication device comprising an input device, and a display device, the mobile communication device enabled to initiate emergency calls in a locked state. Password input data is received via the input device, when the mobile communication device is in the locked state, the password input data for unlocking the mobile communication device, the password input data comprising at least a sequence of characters for initiating an emergency call. In response to receiving the sequence of characters for initiating the emergency call, the display device is controlling to provide a representation of instructions to initiate the emergency call upon receipt of emergency call initiate data from the input device. | 11-08-2012 |
20130009748 | SIMPLIFIED BIOMETRIC CHARACTER SEQUENCE ENTRY - A device having a biometric input device is configured to allow a user to enter a character sequence for use in validation using the biometric input device. A predetermined assignment of characters to enrolled biometric templates allows a user to determine a sequence of biometric inputs to provide to enter an appropriate character sequence. | 01-10-2013 |
